HOLD ONTO THAT NEW POODLE!

When receiving a new Poodle into your 

possession you should follow these rules until the 

Poodle is fully acclimated:

Always use a slip lead. Dog collars are made for 

identification and can slip over a Poodle's head quite 

easily in most cases because of the Poodle's narrow 

scull.  Slip leads will tighten and won't let your dog 

get away from you. The old fashioned "choke chains" and 

also the newer halter type "head apparatus" is a safer 

choice for new dogs. Remember Control the head - "Control 

the Dog"

Be sure to have a firm grip on your Poodle's leash 

BEFORE opening your car door when transporting your new 

Poodle from your car to your home. Better yet, drive 

your car into your garage or a space that is surrounded 

by a barrier so that in case your new Poodle does get 

away from you he or she will not be in the open spaces 

and lost.

More tomorrow.....
